Dadaist:
Spicy scrambled eggs - Madhur Jaffrey
3 tbsp butter/veg oil
1 small onion finely chopped
1/2 tsp peeled grated ginger
1/2-1 green chilli finely chopped (have used red, works just as well)
1 tbsp chopped coriander
1/8 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 small tomato peeled and chopped (often use puree instead if in hurry)
6 large eggs, beaten
Salt and pepper to taste
Sauté onion till soft, add ginger, chilli, green coriander, turmeric, cumin & tomato, stir and cook for 3-4 mins. Then add eggs and cook to consistency you like, stirring gently.
Wangi:
Courgette Cake - Nigella
60g raisins, optional
2-3 courgettes (250g), wiped then grated
2 large eggs
125ml veg oil
150g caster sugar
225g self raising flour
1/2 tsp bicarb
1/2 tsp baking powder
Put grated courgettes in sieve to drain some of water. Beat eggs, oil and sugar until creamy, sift in flour, bicarb and baking powder. Beat until mixed, add courgettes and raisins if using. Bake in two tins for 30 mins or one tin (I'm too lazy to line two) for about 40 mins on 180C gas mark 4. I fill it with home made lime curd (ask if you want recipe) but you can use bought lime or lemon curd, and Nigella ices it but I don't.
Bob: Healthy veggy suggestion
Vegetable moussaka - Sarah Brown
2oz/50g green or brown lentils (I use Le Puy from Kitcheners)

1/4 lb/ 110g mushrooms, wiped & chopped

HEat 2 tbsp oil and fry onion and garlic gently, then add mushrooms and lentils and cook for further few minutes, mixing well. Remove from pan with slotted spoon leaving as much oil as poss in pan, put in bowl and mix in little of lentil liquid, tomato puree and oregano. Season well with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
Add more oil to pan and fry aubergine slices then drain on kitchen paper.
Grease 3 pint oven proof dish and put in the lentil/mushroom mix, then a layer of aubergines, then a layer of potato and tomato slices.
